CallingID Support:
Troubleshooting
CallingID won't appear.
Please follow these steps in order:
| 1. |
If you're having trouble seeing the
CallingID toolbar and you use Windows 2000, Windows 98 or Windows ME please
make sure that the file you downloaded is the one suitable for your Windows
version. If you are not sure click
here to download the
file suitable for all these versions of Windows.
Before you install this file you must uninstall CallingID (for a detailed
description of the uninstall procedure, click
here).
|
|
| 2. |
In many cases an application running
on your computer may have interfered with the installation of CallingID
toolbar. If you restart your Windows this problem will automatically be
resolved (The is no need to reinstall CallingID).
|
|
| 3. |
Many anti-spyware programs disable
installation of web-browser add-ons as many add-ons are not safe. Since
CallingID is a safe add-on (see our

| |
 |
Uninstall CallingID (for a detailed description of the
uninstall procedure, click
here) |

My CallingID toolbar has disappeared
from IE. How can I get it back?
If this issue occurred after installation, meaning CallingID never worked
on your computer, please click
here. If CallingID worked on your computer and suddenly
disappeared, read below.
Some security programs change the default settings of Internet Explorer and
disable third party plug-ins such as CallingID, Google Toolbar, etc. There are
two solutions to this problem:
| 1. |
Re-activate CallingID - It's
possible CallingID is simply inactive in your browser. Follow the steps below
to remedy this:
|
| |
|
Open your browser
|
| |
|
Choose the 'View' menu
|
| |
|
Choose 'Toolbars'
|
| |
|
Select 'CallingID' to add a checkmark. If a checkmark already
appears beside 'CallingID', follow the instructions below
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
Try your Other Toolbars - IE ONLY
- Internet Explorer has a habit of confusing toolbars. Though a checkmark
already appears beside 'CallingID' it's possible that checkmarking one of your
other toolbars will cause CallingID to appear.
|
| |
|
Checkmark your toolbars one by one
|
| |
|
If CallingID still doesn't appear follow the proceed to the
following step
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Reinstall CallingID - The
reinstallation will automatically reconfigure your browser settings to enable
CallingID.
|
| |
|
Uninstall CallingID (Click
here for help)
|
| |
|
Click
here and download the CallingID installer
|
| |
|
Run the installer and follow the directions on the screen
|
|

I can't move my toolbar.
This problem can occur for two reasons:
|
If there is no doted line to the left of your toolbars, your
toolbars are locked.
To unlock your toolbars right-click in any empty area on your toolbars and
select "Lock the Toolbars".
|
|
You are trying to move the CallingID toolbar while it's in the
minimized toolbar setting.

I've just updated CallingID, now it has
disapeared from Firefox. How can I get it back?
